Ryan Halloran is attracted to Boon Andrews the moment he sees him on the window cleaners’ gondola outside his high rise office. But horror sweeps through Ryan when a gondola cable snaps, and his call to 911 saves the lives of Boon and his co-worker. Although the near-fatal accident brings these two men together, never could two men be further apart in lifestyle and social status. Boon, a tattooed high school drop-out, wears earrings and dresses in frayed cutoffs and Doc Martens boots, and he cleans pools and windows for a living. Ryan, however, holds a master’s degree from the most famous film school in southern California and, as the elegant, cultured, and self-controlled vice president of a motion picture studio, he dresses in Versace suits and Bruno Magli shoes. Despite their differences, Ryan not only responds to Boon’s carefree spirit and relaxed manner, he lusts for him. And Boon discovers his craving for nude sex play with this man turns out not to be based on gratitude that Ryan saved his life, but out of love. As Ryan wrestles with work problems that could mean the loss of the film studio, he also falls deeply in love with the one-of-a-kind Boon. But when they start appearing in public together, and a former lover makes an appearance, the differences in their social status may well destroy their future.

Hangin' with My Window Man

He tipped his head back and groaned, trying to lift himself closer to Boon. “I’m almost there, Boon. Are you with me?”


They cried out together, and Ryan knew Boon had reached the top of the mountain and seen the exploding stars as the wash of tingling sweetness raced through him.


Boon rolled off, and they lay together in the aftermath. “Thanks for letting me erase that terrible picture from my mind.” He pushed Ryan’s hair back from his face. “If it were legal, I’d ask you to marry me, Ryan Halloran.”


“And if it were, and you did, I’d say yes.”


“Then we’d better hurry up and get better acquainted.”


Ryan’s laugh was filled with happiness.


A week later, Ryan called Boon. “I’d like it very much if you’d be my guest at the annual producers’ dinner. Black tie.” Ryan hastily added, “I know that’s not your style, but I really want you with me. I’ll buy you a suit or we can rent one.”
